Storybird.com is an interactive writing tool originally intended for families to bring families and friends closer together through the use of writing and storytelling. However, it is quickly becoming popular for classroom use. Storybird boasts that it makes writing a fun and social experience with free online use and sharing. The site provides original artwork to help spark creative thinking, ways of sharing work when (and if) an author is ready, and protects an author's privacy.
Storybird claims "Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories that are curiously fun to make, share, and read. Teachers love them because they inspire their most reluctant writers and readers and reward their most adventurous. Kids adore them because they feel empowered by the tools and supported by the social feedback."
